See me shoot my! I’m a gun owner! I’m a gun owner! No, you’re just slick, Mitt. As a real gun owner, I find this story pathetic.
Honestly, this guy will say anything to get elected and I do mean anything.
In boasting about his lifelong experience as a hunter, Mitt Romney may have
shot himself in the foot.The Republican presidential contender has told audiences on several occasions,
most recently this week in gun-savvy — and early voting — New
Hampshire, that he has been a longtime hunter. But it turns out he has been
on only two hunting trips.Critics said it was the latest example of a White House aspirant willing
to say anything to reach the Oval Office. … ..I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I’ve been a hunter pretty much
all my life,” he told a man sporting a National Rifle Association cap.Yet the former Massachusetts governor’s hunting experience came during two
trips at the bookends of his 60 years: as a 15-year-old, when he hunted rabbits
with his cousins on a ranch in Idaho, and last year, when he shot quail on
a fenced game preserve in Georgia.The 2006 trip was an outing with major donors to the Republican Governors
Association, which Romney headed at the time.An aide said Wednesday that Romney was not trying to mislead anyone, although
he confirmed Romney had been hunting only on those occasions in his life.
But that’s not even the scariest part of the news today.
Romney has catapulted up the polls in New Hampshire to tie the lead. Now,
I don’t want to say I told you so but… I.Told.You.So.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has rocketed to the top of the field
of contenders for the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary crown,
running dead even with Arizona Sen. John McCain at 25% each, a new Zogby International
telephone poll shows. With Romney’s ascension, the GOP presidential
race looks just like the Democratic contest – a three–way battle!
